wedding reception decoration ideas - it's your wedding

A couple wishing to really make a statement at their wedding may want to invest in truly unique centerpieces. Prior to the wedding, you have to sort out a few things including legal issues, determining who pays for the wedding, deciding what type of attire the bride and groom will wear and possibly even dealing with having your own children involved in the process if either of you already have children from a previous marriage.

A photo album complete with a picture of you and the bridesmaid or the entire wedding party can be another unique gift idea for the bridesmaids. The candy and bowls can probably be purchased for a fraction of the price of floral centerpieces and create a lovely centerpiece that is easily assembled and can be enjoyed by all of the guests. Try finding a gift that is thoughtful and useful without being detrimental to your budget.

The bride and groom then proceed down the aisle together accompanied by both of their parents to symbolize that their union includes the union of both families and not just the bride and the groom. Wedding gifts are given at the wedding and shower gifts are given at the shower. Whether the couple chooses to walk down the aisle in traditional wedding attire or jeans and sneakers is completely up to them.

Planning a rehearsal dinner can seem daunting as the rules are not clearly defined but it is this flexibility that makes planning a rehearsal dinner such a fun challenge. Have fun with the shower and during the shower! The bride will thank you for years to come for the thoughtful afternoon or evening you put together for her.
